Boom Merchant presents a four-track, dark and raw techno EP on his record label Tribal Pulse.
Originally from Ireland, but currently spending his time between Glasgow (Scotland) and Mexico City (Mexico), Boom Merchant’s style blends industrial percussion with ominous basslines.
Much of Boom Merchant’s original material is released via Tribal Pulse, but he has also featured on other respected record labels such as T78’s Autektone Dark.
Having made a name for himself within Glasgow’s underground techno scene, Boom Merchant is well known for his residency at the Surge Glasgow nightclub. He also has an international fanbase leading to gigs everywhere from Germany to Japan.
“Fedex” opens the release with a booming kick drum and throbbing bassline, which underpins shuffling hi-hats and an aggressive vocal hook that adds to the track’s exhilarating tension.
“Dark Train” is a stripped-back track that combines rattling percussion with juddering synth stabs and suspense-building swells.
“Kannibal” is a full-throttle track with a hammering kick drum layered with thrashing hi-hats and sci-fi influenced atmospherics that shroud trippy vocal chants.
“Let It All Go” closes the release with apocalyptic synths combined with a wonky bassline and mechanical percussion that gives this hard-hitting techno track a dystopian vibe.
